I know He's waiting

I know my Lord is waiting for me
His face of love that I will see
In that great city where there's no sadness
My soul will rest eternally.

Those gates of pearl will open for me
I'll walk on streets that's made of gold
And in that city Christ will be waiting
To count me on His heavenly roll.

My time on earth is growing shorter
And soon I'll leave this world behind
To join my loved ones gone on before me
And Christ who saved this soul of mine

I know He's waiting for me up there
And soon I'll journey to that city fair
I'll run to meet Him happy I'll be
Up there with Jesus eternally.
